Many reservation fees on Recreation.gov increased, or will be increasing in the next few weeks. These increases are variable depending on the type of reservation and are a result of an increased cost of providing online, call center and field location services. Most of the increases range from .50 cents to $1.00 (added to the current fee of $9.00 to $10.00) and may be reflected when making camping, cabin or day-use reservations on Recreation.gov; in some cases you will see that increase right away, in others, it may take some time for the change to occur. The lottery and permit locations will experience an increase of up to $4.00 or more, which more accurately reflects the cost of implementing these more complex recreation opportunities. The last time we raised our reservation fees was more than 10 years ago.

From the website:Reservation Fee: If a reservation fee is charged, it is NON-REFUNDABLE. This fee, for some facilities, is $10.00 for call center reservations and $9.00 for web (www.Recreation.gov) reservations. Service Fee: This $10.00 cancellation fee will be deducted from the amount of the refund given to the customer.
